.. warning::
These functions should be avoided in Python 3, because they return
encoded bytes. It's much better to use alternatives which return
Unicode strings instead, since most Python applications will want to
manipulate human readable text as strings instead of bytes. Further,
it's possible that you may get unexpected Unicode-related exceptions
if there are encoding problems with the translated strings. It is
possible that the ``l*()`` functions will be deprecated in future Python
versions due to their inherent problems and limitations.

this was deemed not useful and so it is currently unimplemented.
